Cumulative Completion Chart

This is a mechanism for the client and the Catapult project team to determine the relative health of the project.

In the chart, the top line (Scheduled Finishes) represents the total number of deliverables completed by the team if they finished all deliverables on the earliest scheduled date.

The bottom line (Latest Finishes) represents the number of deliverables completed by the team if they finished every deliverable on the very last possible day without impact to the project end date. Reality generally falls between these two extremes.

The middle line (Actual Finishes) is updated weekly to reflect the progress made by the Catapult team.

Each week will vary in the level of productivity. As long as the actual finishes fall between the two extremes and the slope of the line is always trending upwards, the project will remain healthy and be delivered on time. If the project begins to falter this chart will display the early warning signs and we can adjust and recover early.
